Yes, Spain introduced Spanish to Mexico during its colonization of the country in the 16th century. Spanish was the language of the ruling class and was imposed on the native population. According to historian Felipe Fernandez-Armesto, “The Spanish empire grew out of the Mexican experience.”
Here are some interesting facts about the introduction of Spanish to Mexico:
- Before the arrival of the Spanish, there were over 60 indigenous languages spoken in Mexico.
- The Spanish language that was introduced to Mexico was different from the modern Spanish spoken today, due to centuries of evolution and influence from other languages.
- The Spanish language spread quickly throughout Mexico due to the establishment of schools and the Catholic Church, which used Spanish as its official language.
- Today, Mexican Spanish has its own unique dialect, which includes words borrowed from indigenous languages and even English.
- Mexican Spanish is the second most spoken language in the United States, after English.
Here is a table comparing some common Spanish words to their equivalents in one of Mexico’s indigenous languages, Nahuatl:
| Spanish | Nahuatl |
|---|---|
| Chocolate | Xocolātl |
| Tomato | Tōmatl |
| Avocado | Āhuacatl |
| Coat | Cuāuhtli |
| Cotton | Ēzotl |
| Taco | Tlacoyo |
